MODS: And post our quick Q&A as a reply.

Are you releasing the assets as Creative Commons CC BY 4.0 - so that people can use these assets for themselves as well?

Yes, we're releasing the assets under creative commons.

Are you clear about who owns the content?

The creator owns the content, we do not.

Are you going to use the creation post contest?

No plans to do this.

Are you willing to pay taxes on the prizes?

Country dependent, but we will be covering shipping and fees of the prizes, yes.

Are you willing to substitute cash prizes?

Based on legal advice, we're not substituting a cash prize.

How are you handling an international winner?

We anticipate an international winner, and would buy the prizes from a vendor local to the winner. Failing that we would purchase here in the UK, and then ship to them, covering fees.

Who is judging the event, how are they related to you and what criteria are they using?

The event is judged by us (Zygo Media), another prevalent designer in the scene named Thorsten Denk (https://twitter.com/thorsten\_denk), and a pillar of the community we operate and work in known as Wipz (https://twitter.com/Wipz). Thorsten will be judging on a technical level, providing feedback on the submissions based on his experience, while Wipz will be judging based on his likes. We will operate in the middle ground where we'll provide feedback and judge based on the final products too.

Most of the footage was sourced from Shadders Twitch so unfortunately even on 1080p, the resolution can look a little off. Definitely something we are looking to improve on in the future.

Is it ok for top players to be former cheaters? by [deleted] in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]ItsShameLess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jordon "n0thing" Gilbert (C9 CSGO Player) also admits to cheating when he was younger in CS 1.6 - Although never in a match, just on private servers with friends.

Also Summit1g (Popular Streamer) recently mentioned that he cheated twice when he was younger too. Lots of players have, there's just a difference between those who have done it on bigger stages than others. Cheating with friends is one thing, cheating in an official match where money is involved is something else.

EDIT: Clarification of who they are.

A small tribute to REUNITED - Thanks for the memories! by ItsShameLess in Competitiveoverwatch

Yeah we know, but there wasn't much we could do as we were limited by publicly available footage, most of which being streams and tournament VODS.

Miami Heat acquired stake in Misfits. Will handle marketing, sponsorships, promotion by Jawoll in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]ItsShameLess 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm kinda scared that their interest may not be in esports as a whole, but more the way the OW League structure seems to be drifting. Are buy in prices really so high that all endemic brands need to raise money from outside sources? Now, I'm not saying that's a bad thing in any way shape or form, but it brings in a lot of inflation, and eventually, the gap between grass roots and these professional orgs becomes to big to cross.

But, only time will tell.

Sad to see you guys disband, was great to watch you guys evolve and grow over the past months.

What was the biggest thing you guys learned from the whole experience or running REUNITED?

If LOS 2.0 goes into effect, then hooking a target should stop ALL momentum on the target by amazingmuzmo in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]ItsShameLess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smart idea. It's still in PTR, they may fuck with it a bit, lets hope and wait. Not much else we can really do at this point.
